everybody managed to get it working, either using the nw replacer or the manual method. so i'm sure it's not on my end nor the applications' fault.

tell us what you did, step by step.

ok, I tried the neowin autopatcher. it patched it. I restarted - it didnt work

I went to the site and got one of the SP2 files that had same numbers as my version... I renamed the old uxtheme.dll in my system32 folder to uxtheme.old replaced that with the new one rebooted - it didnt work.

Then I came here and asked, larney gave me a link to a uxtheme.dll file that was for my specific build. I then used the replacer program (not the rename to .old way of doing it) to replace the file. then I rebooted.

WinMacLin, try searching your whole computer for ALL uxtheme files and deleting them all apart from the ONE C:\Windows\System32 called uxtheme.dll

Then post a picture of Start -> Run -> Winver (we need to know the language of your computer as well like English or Russian or whatever) so me and insasnekiwi can direct you to the right file. Then me or insanekiwi can explain to you how to replace the file :)

wfp? hah. this doesn't happens when using replacer/neowin's uxtheme app properly. an wfp dialog should pop up and you press keep the modded file. easy as that.

No, the service pack files overwrite the patched file when you reboot which it says nothing about in your guide (which many people have problems with). Now stop being so rude as alot of people like to know what files they are replacing.

well fine. write it down in your guide. nobody told me they had problems with wfp because there is no problem with it. the default xp will give you a wfp dialog and then you simply keep the replaced file. and it won't get replaced upon a reboot.

Maybe you guys can help me out also. I have tried to use the Neowin Multipatcher but I keep getting an error message that says there are NT setup files in C:\Windows and it is not recommended that I continue. When I click OK the application closes. I have tried using replacer but after I follow the instructions and click Y/enter it starts up then stops with an error that the UXTHEME.dll could not be found. When I look in system32 I find the UXTHEME.dll v. 6.0.2900.2180 which is the version that I downloaded to patch the original file with. Even though it is in system32 I am unable to change my VS except to the MS XP styles.

on ALL your hard-drives. Delete them all apart from the one named uxtheme.dll in C:\Windows\System32 Download this: http://67.21.149.202:8080/repository/Patch...900.2180_EN.rar Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.dll.old and move the patched uxtheme.dll into C:\Windows\System32 then Reboot and try a theme. If it still doesn't work respond here

insanekiwi, its the problem with when the service pack files replace the files upon restart and some people have had problems with it, sorry if my post sounded nasty I was just explaning what the problem was :)

The DLL is not the problem if he cannot even see the themes in the drop-down list. This seems to be a common problem without a definite explaination... UxStyle will hopefully resolve this when it becomes public.
